Cedar Breaks National Monument 
The same forces of nature that shaped Bryce Canyon were at work also in Cedar Breaks, in southwestern Utah, creating a smaller but even more colorful rocky landscape in the form of a gigantic amphitheater. The best views are to be had from the Rim Drive.
Cedar Breaks National Monument is located east of Cedar City and surrounded by the Dixie National Forest. The amphitheater is more than 2,000ft/610m deep and three miles in diameter. The colors of the cliffs come from minerals.
